National Park of Blue Eye + Lekuresi Castle Tour

We'll meet at Toena bookshop at 9 am, then we'll board a bus to take us to the Blue Eye lagoon in Albania. This site of natural beauty has been declared a protected Natural Monument.

Once we reach our destination we’ll explore this area; you will see Mali i Gjërë Mountain and the natural freshwater spring. The Blue Eye spring is the largest and most impressive among the 18 freshwater springs in Mali i Gjere area. It has a depth of 50 metres (164 feet) and is surrounded by lush green vegetation.

We’ll also visit the ruins of Lekuresi Castle, believed to date back to 1537 during the attack on Corfu by Sultan Sulejmani, also known as Suleiman the Magnificent. The castle is located on the top of a hill above the city of Saranda, offering views of the bay of Saranda, the road to Butrint, the islands of Ksamil, and the Island of Corfu.

Finally, we'll make our way back to the meeting point.
